Chapter 456: The Intimidating Abyss, Irresistible
The first beam, the second beam, the third beam...
Even though he released more than a dozen secret techniques in an instant to strengthen his flesh and mend his wounds,
he still couldn't stop the force from spreading outward. It was clearly visible, the flesh on the back of Leviathan's hand swelling upward. At first, a golden spot appeared and then quickly spread, until at the end, it erupted like a volcano, accompanied by a massive surge of flesh and a torrential outburst of radiation shooting up towards the sky.
The dark clouds in the sky were swept away by the high-energy reaction, and on the ground, bottomless trenches appeared.
Pfft!
The most dreadful thing happened.
Even the Leviathan King Worm, exerting all its might, was of no avail.
Its arm, which it used to bind Su Heng, burst open, and amidst the scattered flesh, a cluster of golden light appeared on the battlefield.
At this moment, Su Heng's body had swollen to 120 meters, his face covered in an arrogant and fierce expression, with bursts of golden light exploding all over him. His originally black-as-iron scale armor almost appeared translucent under the intense light. The Sun Furnace was overloading with unprecedented efficiency, and the thousands of bio-furnaces coordinating with it lit up like stars.
Even though Su Heng's size still seemed quite small compared to Leviathan before him,
the aura he emitted was by no means inferior, and it was even stronger. As a result, the entire battlefield around him was twisting and melting, and strands of green vapor rose from Leviathan's body.
"Since I took control of the Sun Furnace, you are the first to see me in my fully victorious form," Su Heng's scales spread, his pupils filled with blood, his expression fierce and terrifying, "You should feel proud, then embrace death with a sense of fortune, and finally become nourishment for my transcendence."
"Don't be too arrogant, worm!"
Feeling the astonishing power emanating from Su Heng, Leviathan was also quite surprised.
Nevertheless, it was a fearsome entity that had roamed the longevous heavens for tens of thousands of years, ancient and mysterious, regarded by many races as an unstoppable natural disaster, its mere mention making others shiver with fear. Facing such a unimaginably young and powerful foe like Su Heng, Leviathan instinctively didn't want to admit it, let alone lose face before him.
With a voice feigning ridicule, it growled, "Your barren power cannot even kill me or cause me any real damage."
As it spoke,
accompanied by the roaring of thunder, a giant crimson dragon's head also drooped down from the sky.
In just this brief moment,
the head, which Su Heng had severely damaged with the Atomic Breath before, had largely recovered, though the newly-regrown scale armor seemed a bit more fragile.
Proudly withstanding hundreds of thousands of degrees of high temperature with a fleshly body—such a feat was commendable.
But...
"Do you think this is my limit?"
Su Heng's expression was calm, standing on thin air. As his immense and boundless spirit spread outwards, endless dust and smoke rose on the battlefield as well, transforming into a huge curtain behind him, covering the sky and stretching for hundreds of thousands of meters.
Leviathan's pupils contracted deeply, involuntarily stepping back, a look of dread emerging on its face.
Powerful spiritual power.
It sensed an intense premonition of danger emanating from behind the curtain.

In the next instant, amidst Su Heng's ferocious laughter, the premonition immediately turned into reality.
Bang!
A loud noise.
Su Heng's left hand clenched into a fist.
He struck hard behind himself, and instantly, cracks spread outward.
Then his fingers spread, muscles bursting forth, and with a violent tear, the illusory curtain instantly turned into reality, as if it were a delicate veil being torn down from the void by Su Heng.
"If I can't kill you once, I want to see, ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, what can you possibly use to resist!"
"Thousand Stars·Collapse!"
Boom!
As Su Heng roared upwards, exploding,
golden light pierced the heavens, and behind him, one by one, golden suns lit up in the void.
Densely packed, from left to right, a glance revealed thousands, each emitting a light brighter than the sun. Now under Su Heng's will, overlapping together, their might was akin to purgatory. With wave after wave of invisible ripples squeezing outward and spreading, the ground cracked inch by inch, the uprising rocks didn't even have time to melt into magma before they were vaporized into nothingness.
Leviathan King Worm, watching this exaggerated and terrifying scene unfold before its eyes, felt as if it was on a cloud, everything happening seemed bizarre and absurd.
But the threat emanating from Su Heng was like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami, and could not be faked.
A slight sense of pride surged in its heart, like snow under the scorching sun, rapidly dissipating into vapor. Leviathan didn't even think before dragging its massive body to turn around and run away, intending to leave this Mythical Battlefield.
But it was already too late.
Boom Boom Boom!
What happened next was like the apocalypse.
A thousand blazing orbs simultaneously hurled down by Su Heng, each explosion powerful enough to flatten a city with hundreds of thousands of people. The Leviathan King Worm's body twisted, tore, and vaporized in the intense light, its flesh crumbled, its mountainous head helplessly plummeting to the ground. A turbulent flow of violent chaos surged back and forth, creating various supernatural phenomena on the battlefield.
Meanwhile at a distance—
Atop the Bronze Fortress, King Qingyang, Ji Huaxi, and others had no idea what had just happened.
They first saw a bright beam of light shooting into the sky, which then quickly expanded. Followed by a bowl-shaped shockwave sweeping across the surroundings with unbelievable speed.
What was just at the distant horizon a moment ago was suddenly right before their eyes.
The mountains crumbled inch by inch, and the ground underfoot, like a moldy carpet, was lifted by an invisible hand, forming tumultuous waves, with the insects covering it vanishing instantly, completely disintegrated and vaporized.
Boom!
A sudden sense of crisis surged in Ji Huaxi's heart.
She bit her tongue tip, quickly snapping out of the indescribable shock.
Then, clenched her hands, her long spear struck the ground like a scepter with great force, channeling relentless power into it. Various array patterns and rituals also quickly activated atop the Bronze Fortress, rising up with countless runes lighting up in the void, forming a translucent protection shield above.
Everything that could be done was now done.
What remained now was only to pray.
Fortunately, after enduring the initial violent impact, the Bronze Fortress, though swaying like a little boat on the waves, was barely supported by Ji Huaxi's desperate efforts. Blood resembling little snakes flowed from her nostrils, dripping down her pale chin, forming a small puddle below her.
Ji Huaxi's forehead was soaked with sweat, her body pushed to its limits, nearly collapsing.
After some time passed.
The roaring shockwave slowly subsided.
Only then did she jerk her body up, leaning on her long spear, struggling to stand up.
Looking over the raised embankment, the scene after the cataclysm immediately struck their eyes. Sounds of sharp intakes of breath came from around, those who could still stand on the Mythical Battlefield were the elites, who had experienced numerous brutal wars.
Yet even so, many were overwhelmed.
The Bronze Fortress had previously been built within a valley, leveraging its natural defenses. But now, the landscape had completely changed, hills and distant forests and lakes all flattened, the sky a murky grey, and the air filled with spreading dust, making it impossible to discern any direction, as if one was suddenly teleported to a desolate desert.
...
...
...
Aside from Ji Huaxi and others.
Algres and Ryan on this battlefield also felt horror.
Compared to the Bronze Fortress, the location they chose was even further from the center of the explosion, thus when the shockwave traveled the vast distance to reach here, the force had reduced significantly. But even so, the power contained within was still not to be underestimated, especially with a massive fierce radiation surge mixed with black gravel, stabbing into the body like countless tiny long spears.
Even for a Demon Descendant with a body as strong as a demon of the same realm.
But if exposed to such power for an extended period, their origin would be damaged, hindering their cultivation in the future.
Being a cultivator on the Dao Path of Space, Algres could create an interlayer between reality and the Eternal Heavens. Previously in Central State, when escaping from Emperor Wu's pursuit and the residual explosion impacts from the Daoist Crane, Algres used this technique. Other Destruction Power wielders, even those who luckily survived from Emperor Wu, were all quite disheveled, their combat abilities severely impacted.
But only Algres's power remained relatively intact, and because of that, he still had the strength to continue escaping from Su Heng thereafter.
Watching the dark storm surge like ocean waves, Algres frowned, not bothering to consider who won the battle between Su Heng and the King Insect.
He was about to extend his hand to guard, pulling himself and Ryan into the interlayer space to hide.
But at that moment.
Ryan's brow suddenly furrowed deeply, grabbing Algres's arm.
"King?" Algres looked puzzled, but seeing the unusually serious expression on Ryan's face, he was also startled, knowing the situation was extraordinary.
Sure enough, in the next instant.
"Two sneaky rats, even across tens of thousands of miles, I can still smell the filthy stench emanating from you!"
"Do you dare to hide here now, trying to reap the benefits like that Fisherman did?"
Boom!
In an instant, a golden light cut through the hurricane, sweeping across.
Ryan only felt a wave of scorching heat surging towards him, his long sword instantly unsheathing to block, causing a violent explosion between them.
